What's your go to cordless Drill?

I've been getting more into wood working over the past few months and need to upgrade my drill soon. I have a craftsman that's about 10 years old that' still working on, but I want to get something nicer soon. What's your favorite brands? Dewalt? Rigid? Mikata? Something else I'm missing?

I've had one DeWalt since 2007, and it hasn't let me down yet.

Either DeWalt or Craftsman... can’t beat those two

love my dewalt cordless tools with the lithium batteries.

rigid, lifetime battery warranty and the orange color is legit.

Makita

We have a Makita at work that we've been abusing since 2008 and it is still running strong, batteries are still good.
For heavy duty stuff, hammer drills etc, I would recommend Dewalt.

Dewalt, but next step down would be Ryobi

I'll say this and you can take it for what it's worth. I was looking to upgrade my older cordless dewalt and was having trouble justifying the prices when I had a few other tools on the wish list. So I compromised with myself and went with two separate corded drills. Said if I didn't like it they were so cheap I would then get a nice cordless drill/impact set, but now I don't plan on going back. I got a high RPM for drilling holes and a lower RPM drill with a slip clutch for driving screws. I still use my cordless occasionally around the house but in the shop where I always have access to outlets it's been a nice setup.

I bought a bosch on sale at lowes back in 2012. It has been great. It's survived a few high falls and the batteries still last

I've been running the Porter-Cable drill and hammer drill for over 2 years now without a hiccup. Can't complain. I also have their impact driver, jig saw and recip saw and all work really well.
That being said, if I were doing it again I'd buy something with a more extensive line of both power tools and yard tools that utilize the same battery systems so I wouldn't need as many batteries. Ryobi is great for that.

Seems like it's hard to go wrong with any of the major reputable brands. I'll probably wait until close to Father's Day and see if Lowe's or HD have any good sales.

I have 5 Bosch drills/impact drivers.
I use the 10.8v Bosch drivers the most.

This.
Heck, the Ryobi is half the price of a Dewalt. Bought a Ryobi and I sure as shite put it thru a work out drilling holed in oak, using a 2" drill bit.Posted on 3/15/18 at 3:20 pm to Glock17
We buy makita, dewalt and Milwaukee for my guys and they hold up pretty well, they use and abus them every day fwiw

Part of me says to roll with a Ryobi since it won't be a everyday tool. I'm just a very amateur hobbyist at this point so I don't need anything to fancy.
